Discussion Questions:
- How is God’s foreknowledge different from controlling everyone’s moves?
- React to this statement: God predestined every child of God to grow, being conformed to Christ’s image.
- How is Romans 9:30-31 the summary of everything Paul wants to communicate?
- In what way does this Romans passage mirror what we saw in Ephesians last week?
- React to this statement: Paul uses Jacob, Esau, and Pharaoh to defend God’s right to do whatever He wants. And now God wants to bring salvation to the Gentiles.
- How does the Hosea quote in Romans 9:25-26 further expose the true meaning of predestination?
- Why can the genuine message concerning predestination unite us (rather than divide us) and even offer a cure for racism?
